Making It Work: Send In Your Nominations!

Before THRIVE came along, did you ever expect for food that looked like this …

… to come from your food storage?

Yeah, me neither.

These recipes were all created by people who have figured out how to make their food storage work for them.

Food storage is meant to give you peace of mind and flexibility. It’s meant to ultimately make life easier. It is not meant to induce fits of rage, nor to be a source of intimidation, and it should never result in meals that are only good for heightening your gag reflex. Still, it can be a hard lesson to learn. Most of us have a little baggage when it comes to food storage. Maybe you’ve got wretched memories of being forced to can peaches when you were a young’un, or maybe you’ve only recently been introduced to the concept and are embarrassed to find that everyone and their dog has gotten a head start. Whatever your story is, everyone has a different path to journey on before they get to the perfectly-organized, flawlessly-planned food storage future that’s somewhere in the distance, and if you’re lucky, you might find some folks along the way to lend a helping hand. That’s where the Shelf Reliance blog steps in.

We’re looking to find people who are Making It Work – people who’ve got a handle on this food storage/emergency preparedness thing and are willing to share their tips, tricks, and encouragement with the rest of us. If you think you know someone (or if you are someone) who fits the bill, please send an e-mail to: sara.hanks@shelfreliance.com. Include the words “Making It Work” in the subject line.

We’re looking to start a recurring feature here on the Shelf Reliance blog dedicated to profiling these awesome people and getting the scoop on their techniques, so your nominations will be much appreciated!
